Regarding staff, only a third of the librarians graduated from library schools, the average age was 48, and despite isolation, the staff were not completely opposed to change. The book collection was adequate, however, it could use improvement with the fine arts, business, and audio-visual materials. The building was one of the best, however, it was not handicap accessible. Because of the age of the building, the interior could've used some updates. There was the Rosa D. Bowser Branch that served the black community but if the city ever integrated, there would be no need for the branch any longer. Black children were not allowed in the children's section of the main branch building.SubjectThe topic of the resourceLibrariesRichmond Public LibrarySegregationLanguageA language of the resourceEnglishIdentifierAn unambiguous reference to the resource within a given contextUA6.2.4.3.3.10.-19551120.pdfSourceA related resource from which the described resource is derivedAgenda and Minutes of Richmond Public Library Board Meeting, 20 November 1955, RG 6.2.4.3.

Wallis wrote this report to convey some areas of improvement for the Richmond Public Library system. He began by giving a brief history of the library in America and then shared how Richmond was behind the average per capita income. Wallis was unaware of any other city with Richmond's size that only had two library branches and didn't have a bookmobile. Therefore, he asked for "four good branches and two bookmobiles." These bookmobiles could travel in the community, reach more people, and the cost would be comparatively less than a building. Wallis clarified that these vehicles should not be seen as replacements for actual library buildings. There would be two stations for the East End; one of which served black people and was used fairly well. The writer believed that an irreplaceable tenet of the public library was that "every man has the right to find out, to read, study, learn and understand for himself."SubjectThe topic of the resourceAfrican AmericansBookmobilesIntegrationLibrariesRichmond Public LibraryLanguageA language of the resourceEnglish IdentifierAn unambiguous reference to the resource within a given contextUA6.2.4.3.3.10..pdfSourceA related resource from which the described resource is derivedNotes for Discussion of a Library Bookmobile, RG 6.2.4.3 Box 3 Folder 10, University Archives, Virginia Baptist Historical Society.http://memory.richmond.edu/files/original/88d729b6e37490e20a0ff1e78e64dbfb.jpgbcf7c62052894f672413e06c53b61282TextA resource consisting primarily of words for reading.
